Glad you mentioned that....I often mount ISOs as "loop" devices
and wondered what the connection was between that and
127.0.0.1.  No connection except in name only?


I believe the connection would be that the devices original intent was for testing, and clever people have caused them to evolve. Hardware loopback testers behave similarly to these devices.

Yep the hardware loopbacks are great for circuit testing. I like the SSH forward via tuinnel usage as well.
